Postponed to 12/09 | THE WALKING DEB 4.0: A day discovering natural sciences

12 September 2025 - 10:30 / 17:00

EDIT: Due to adverse weather conditions, the event originally scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, has been postponed to Friday, September 12.

The Department of Ecological and Biological Sciences (DEB) is back in action with the fourth edition of its scientific trekking event. On Friday, September 12, faculty members from the Bachelor’s Degree in Natural and Environmental Sciences will guide participants through the ancient beech forest of Monte Raschio, a UNESCO World Heritage site, located in the area of Lake Bracciano. The meeting point is set for 10:30 AM at the Oriolo Romano (VT) train station.

The nature trail winds along the edges of the Sabatini Volcanic District. During the hike, participants will explore the geological, botanical, zoological, and ecological features of the area, fostering dialogue and direct observation of the landscape and the biodiversity that define this unique environment.

A dedicated educational session will explore career prospects for young people in the field of environmental and natural sciences, with a focus on emerging professions in biodiversity conservation and environmental monitoring.

This event, primarily designed for students interested in exploring university and career options in the fields of nature and the environment, is under the patronage of the Bracciano Martignano Regional Natural Park and Municipality of Oriolo Romano. It is free of charge and open to everyone, with a maximum of 50 participants. Trekking attire is required, and participants must bring their packed lunch. The organizers will provide educational materials and a souvenir gift from the day.

Registration is open until September 11th, 2025. Participation requests must be submitted by completing the form available at the following link: https://forms.gle/EcCvjwX19JNVBjkp6. 

Since the event is funded by the Scientific Degree Plan (PLS L-32) of the Ministry of University and Research, in the case of more applications than spots available, priority will be given to students aged 17 to 26 and secondary school science teachers (or those in related disciplines).

For further information, interested parties may contact Dr. Roberta Meschini or Dr. Serena Biaggioli at the following email addresses: meschini@unitus.it, serena.biaggioli@unitus.it
